Shadows and Sunrise

[Intro]
Under the sun's gentle glow, shadows dance in slow motion
Stay with me, follow my flow, stir the deep emotion

[Verse 1]
Time shortened, moments fleeting, darkness stretches far
Figures in the night, silently they count the stars
 drums, whispers of wind, melodies entwined
Japanese strings, a tender call, softly aligned

[Pre-Chorus]
Sun, where are you? Shine your light, reveal my path
Help me rise, lift the veil, break through the aftermath
Show us all the world in hues we've never seen
Lift the fog of scorn, erase the in-between

[Chorus]
Stay with me, follow me, in this fading night
Vibrato high, so vulnerable, a shining guiding light
From Sahara to  tokyo, our voices intertwined
Singing out the stories that the darkness tried to hide

[Bridge]
Feel the beat beneath the palms, hear the strings' tender cry
Voices soaring high above, into the endless sky
Let the world awaken, from the shadows and disguise
Together hand in hand, under the sun's disguise

[Outro]
Shadow may not depart, but it won't define our start
Stay with me and follow, feel the beating of our heart
Sun, please where are you? Shine, now clear and bright
Lift us from the darkness, bring us into the light
